Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I am a small Zionist, and will be using my webpage to share my (wholly original) thoughts on Israel, Zionism, and these Jews. Since you’re probably already wondering if (or suspecting that) I am Jewish, I’ll tell you that I’m not. I’ve found that any positive interest in Israel consistently provokes this question from Jews and gentiles alike. To support Israel, you must be Jewish; surely there could be no other reason for supporting such a corrupt, racist, colonialist state. I suppose the attitude expressed by the asking of this question - and the incredulity shown when I answer in the negative - pretty well expresses the view that to support Israel one must be biased (and therefore dishonest or wrong). i.e. one must be Jewish.
I suppose, looking at the asker more favourably, in statistical terms, it’s an utterly logical question; moderate, secular Zionism seems to be a mainstay of contemporary diaspora Jewish thought, whereas the rest of us seem to be staunchly pro-Palestinian. Or at least anti-Zionist. Surely, then, it is this minority - these Jews brought up on a diet of Zionist youth groups and Israel tours, who are prejudiced, and unable to see reason. Or perhaps it is the majority which is wrong. This is what my small Zionist blog will begin by considering: is it the thoughts of the Zionist Jew, or the gentile that have been perverted from reason by prejudice?
